Nearly ten months ago I saw Nancy Buirski's Desperate Souls, Dark City, and the Legend of "Midnight Cowboy" at the '22 Telluride Film Festival. It's a sprawling, large-canvas capturing of a revolutionary and fairly breathtaking moment in American cinema -- a constantly probing look at not just the making of John Schlesinger's 1969 classic but everything that was happening back then...culturally, creatively, the whole magillah.
